Seeing a group of deer silhouetted on a ridge invokes a sense of freedom. They can roam where they wish. They look on each side before moving off and are capable of great speed. Wild creatures that respond to their own impulses have always captured the imagination of man who is in so many ways constrained by outside pressures.
Thinking again about the four stags who moved onto Blacka five years ago leading the trend that's happily continued, in retrospect there was something determined about them, walking in single file with a sense of purpose staking out a likely territory. Stags can react in a very timid way some days while at other times they seem to have made up their minds and are very reluctant to be turned away from a decision.
